Looks like Chicago found a stash of "trunk ballots" to help the Democrat win
the race. Who's surprised?

Funny how these last minute ballots found in someone's trunk or in a closet
or wherever absolutely never favor the Republican candidate, isn't it?

 
That was a few days ago. Those were mail-in ballots that were NOT
mishandled, and would have included both Democratic and Republican
primary ballots. They failed to aggregate the votes properly cast on
those ballots with the interim total announced Saturday.
 
It has nothing to do with thwarting the Republican nominee. We already
know whom the nominee is. Bob Fioretti ran unopposed. Also, it's a former
alderman so it's not like you'd have voted for him.
 
Burke vs. Harris is a race for the Democratic Party nomination. Burke is
simply willing to prosecute offenders based on the state criminal code
threshold for low-level felony charges and Harris wants to continue
Foxx's policy of letting first-time arrestees off the hook for low level
felonies. They weren't far apart on other issues.
 
Fioretti won't be all that different from Burke.

So in this case, the trunk ballots will favor the candidate who's the
most 'progressive' lunatic of the two Democrats.

We just had a new outrage from our communist D.A. You see, L.A. has been
plagued of late by a rash of street takeovers and street racing. In one
horrific incident, two boys (11 and 8) were killed when they were struck
by street racers on a residential street at speeds of 80+mph. One of the
kids was thrown over 250 feet and every bone in his body was shattered.

The problem has become so significant that there are several regional
taskforces and one state-level taskforce directed by the governor to
combat it. Millions of taxpayer dollars are being spent to stop and
catch these guys.

And now it comes out that our communist D.A. has issued a directive to
all the ADAs to decline charges on street racers, street takeovers, and
reckless drivers. He directed that such offenders be given pre-trial
diversion to attend a 3-hour video class on responsible driving instead,
after which there will be no record of their offense, not even any
points on their licenses.

He's basically raised a huge middle finger at all the cops and city and
state officials, to include the governor, who have directed significant
resources to stop this crime spree and said, "Make all the arrests you
want, but here in L.A. County, I'll make sure none of them ever see the
inside of a cell."

We only know about this because one of the ADAs was so outraged, she
went to Fox 11 News with the story and produced the emails showing
Gascon personally ordering this. Gascon did it by email so that it
wouldn't appear in the Official Policies of the L.A. County District
Attorney, which is publicly available on the website.

The day she appeared on Fox 11, the ADA got a knock on her door at home.
Two D.A. Investigators were there and hand-delivered her a letter from
Gascon accusing her of violating various departmental policies by going
to the media without authorization. She said she felt like it was an
episode of THE SOPRANOS, with Gascon's personal henchmen showing up on
her doorstep, all because she just told the public what they have every
right to know.

Thank god Gascon's poll numbers are rock bottom. Unless something
significant happens to change things, his opponent, Nathan Hochman, a
former U.S. Attorney, will boot Gascon out of office in the November
run-off.
